New video of Russian meteorite emerges
俄羅斯天降隕石最新視頻畫面
New footage of a meteorite exploding across the sky over the Russian region of Chelyabinsk near the Ural mountains. Amateur videos continue to emerge days after the meteorite struck the area, damaging buildings, shattering glass and sending more than 1,000 to hospital with cuts and scrapes.

Search teams have descended on Lake Cherbarkul, where the meteorite crashed Friday, to look for remains, but have been unable to find any large pieces so far. Residents have also joined the search and claim to have found a few fragments themselves.
搜索隊已經(jīng)到達(dá)周五遭隕石襲擊的Cherbarkul湖試圖尋找隕石碎片，但目前沒有找到任何大的碎片。當(dāng)?shù)鼐用褚布尤氲剿褜さ年犖橹校⒙暦Q他們已經(jīng)找到了一些碎片。
The Russian space agency said the fireball was travelling 30 km per second and although it did not kill anyone, the meteorite caused around $33 million in damage. This prompted scientists on Monday to discuss the possibility of an early warning system for the planet that would encompass telescopes and anti-asteroid missiles.
俄羅斯航天局表示，火球以每秒30公里的速度飛行，雖然沒有造成人員傷亡，但經(jīng)濟損失達(dá)3.3億美元。這促使科學(xué)家在周一談?wù)撌欠裥枰獙π⌒行翘峁┰缙陬A(yù)警系統(tǒng)，包括望遠(yuǎn)鏡偵察和反小行星導(dǎo)彈。
VLADIMIR LIPUNOV, HEAD OF THE SPACE MONITORING LABORATORY WITH MOSCOW STATE UNIVERSITY, SAYING: "How many telescopes do we need? That depends on the field of view. It is now possible to build telescopes of 4 to 8 square degrees. We need 10 to 20 telescopes around the Earth, dozens of them." NASA estimates the meteorite was 17 metres across and weighed about 10,000 tonnes before entering Earth's atmosphere and exploding with nuclear bomb force.
莫斯科州立大學(xué)太空監(jiān)測實驗室主任VLADIMIR LIPUNOV說：“我們需要多少望遠(yuǎn)鏡？這取決于視野范圍?，F(xiàn)在可以建造的望遠(yuǎn)鏡是4 - 8平方度。整個地球我們需要10到20個望遠(yuǎn)鏡，數(shù)十個?！泵绹鴩液娇蘸教炀止烙嬙谶M入地球大氣層前寬17米，重約10000噸，其爆炸威力和原子彈相當(dāng)。
Fourteen dead in Indonesia landslides
印尼山體滑坡致14人遇難
Families of landslide victims weep in the streets of the Indonesian city of Manado. According to officials Monday, landslides and floods have killed at least 14 people in and around the eastern city following torrential rains.
在印尼城市萬鴉老受害者的家屬在街道上哭泣。周一據(jù)官員表示，暴雨過后山體滑坡和洪水已經(jīng)造成東部城市及周邊地區(qū)至少14人死亡。
The Sunday landslide struck an area inundated by water after hours of rain. Most of the dead were buried in the mud as it swept down from hillsides above. Indonesian authorities have dispatched search and rescue teams, who are still looking for survivors across the province, which is 2,200 km north-east of Jakarta. Landslides are common in Indonesia, particularly during the country's wet season, due to illegal logging and clearing of farmland.
周日，數(shù)小時大雨過后，泥石流襲擊了被洪水淹沒的地區(qū)，大部分遇難者被掩埋在從山坡上席卷而下的泥土里。印尼當(dāng)局已經(jīng)派出搜救隊，目前仍在全省各地尋找幸存者，該地區(qū)位于雅加達(dá)東北2200公里處。特別在雨季天氣，因非法砍伐、農(nóng)田開墾使山體滑坡在印尼屢見不鮮。
Republican tries to soften party tone
共和黨試圖緩和黨派姿態(tài)
In response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, one Republican has tried to soften his party's tone. In a back-to-back speech, Senator Marco Rubio tried to shed his party's image as a defender of the rich. He warned that Washington cannot tax its way to economic growth.
作為對美國總統(tǒng)巴拉克·奧巴馬國情咨文的回應(yīng)，一名共和黨人試圖軟化其政黨姿態(tài)。在一次連續(xù)演講中，參議員馬可盧比奧試圖擺脫富人擁護者的形象。他警告說，華盛頓不能通過稅收來增長經(jīng)濟。
SENATOR MARCO RUBIO, REPUBLICAN OF FLORIDA, SAYING: "So Mr. President, I don't oppose your plans because I want to protect the rich. I oppose your plans because I want to protect my neighbours. Hard-working middle class Americans who don't need us to come up with a plan to grow the government. They want a plan to grow the middle class." The speech was a crucial moment for the Republican, as his party tries to reach out to the fast-growing Latino population. Rubio is widely viewed as a contender for the presidency in 2016.
佛羅里達(dá)州的共和黨參議員馬可盧比奧說：“總統(tǒng)先生，我并不是因為想保護富人反對你的計劃。我反對你的計劃，是因為我想保護我的鄰居。勤勞的美國中產(chǎn)階級不需要擴大政府的計劃。他們想要一個增長中產(chǎn)階級的計劃。”此次演講對于共和黨人是至關(guān)重要的時刻，因為他的黨派試圖向快速增長的拉美裔人口伸出橄欖枝。盧比奧被廣泛視為2016年總統(tǒng)選舉的競爭者。
